Yes!  I saw the same thing at some worn-down theater on Bascom Ave. in San Jose...it was back before VCRs were popular, so it was a real treat.

(revealing my age),  I remember seeing A Hard Day's Night in the theater when it was a new release.  I remember there were a lot of girls squealing and swooning...full on Beatlemania in a movie theater.

I think the performance of 'You're Gonna Lose That Girl' in Help! has to be my all-time favorite bit of music on film.
